Post by Kona2 » February 24th, 2010, 3:24 pm

March Calendar Event # 1

Gather ye shamrocks....and get your Irish on.....March Madness will be upon us within a week! ImageImageImage Image Who will earn our daily virtual pot of gold???! (This used to be kind of a given....but it's a whole new opportunity these days!)

March Madness

"5000 meters a day keeps March Madness at bay" (except for Luna-Tics!)

March 1–31
The Details

* Choose from two levels of participation:
o The Basic Challenge: Row or ski 5000 meters each day for 25 days or more in March.
o The Advanced Challenge: Row or ski 10,000 meters each day for 25 days or more in March.
* This is an individual challenge. You do not need to belong to a team to participate.
* Meters must be entered online in your online logbook.
* Indoor rower and SkiErg meters only (no on water/on snow meters please).

Who Can Participate

Anyone with an online logbook at concept2.com can participate in this challenge.
Incentives and Rewards

* Prize drawings are held every day from all the people who have rowed/skied at least 5000 meters that day and entered it in their online logbook. The more days you row/ski 5000 meters, the more you increase your chances of winning!
* On randomly selected days during March, we will draw for an additional prize from those who row/ski at least 10,000 meters.
* Prizes vary from day to day, but will include Concept2 clothing, heart rate monitors, Concept2 drinking glasses and some surprises!
* Drawings are held at (or soon after) noon each weekday for the previous day, so be sure to enter your meters promptly! We will post names of winners on the web site. Winners will be encouraged to send a photo and brief story to be posted as well.
* Hall of Fame—All those who are on-track for rowing/skiing at least 5000 meters at least 25 days during the month of March will be listed in the March Madness Progress Board and will be able to download a specially designed certificate.

WTG Kona & Mitch on 2,000,000!

Does that mean K2 rowed 2K*K? There must be a palindrome in there somewhere. :roll: :roll:

Glad to seen Lefty Dan on the boards again, how goes the recovery? :D

Wishing everyone the luck of the Irish for March Madness.

Good one, Gina! You sent me to the reference sources!

A palindrome is a word, phrase, number or any other sequence of units (like a strand of DNA) which has the property of reading the same in either direction. Some simple examples are:

RACECAR
LEVEL
EYE
RADAR
